Like the iPhone, Archos has a few neat tricks up its sleeve in the interface. We loved the animated icons, especially the icons for videos that actually played the moved as you scrolled through. We like the layout of the photos section, which leaves folders up top, and thumbnails of your library on the bottom. We really like being able to freeze a frame in a video and use the screen shot as our wallpaper, even on movies rented from CinemaNow. We also like being able to scroll through Web pages with our finger, just like on Apple’s device. Typing on the on-screen keyboard was nice and easy, thanks to its wide layout and large keys.
